Re: Fibonacci series

Hi;

Welcome to the forum. There simplest is called the Binet formula.


In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
Probability is the most important concept in modern science, especially as nobody has the slightest notion what it means.
90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics.

Hi;

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci_number

About 1 / 3 down the page there is an explanation for how to do the sum by grouping.
